Mains domestic LED lamps on 3-way switch glow faintly in one 'off' arrangement
On my landing are three connected lights. They have 230v LED bulbs. There are three switches - one obviously an intermediate switch. In one of the four 'off' arrangements of the switches, the LEDs glow faintly. Does anyone have a theory on where this current might be leaking to? Thanks.- Nick Willder
